"So instead of simply adding on a 3rd-party rotational impact protection system, they created their own Sliding Layer Impact Distribution (SLID) solution, not dissimilar to POC's original SPIN pads. For HJC, though, located strategically just at the top of your head, these low-density gel SLID pads are designed to protect the rider from "both rotational and lower-g linear" forces, most common in real-world cycling crashes."
"The selective application of these two large SLID pads on a slim plastic 'bridge' across the top of the helmet ultimately allows for quite unrestricted airflow through the helmet and over the top of the rider's head, making the Furion 3 exceptionally well-ventilated. Another key revised feature is the Furion 3's new dial adjustability, offering a uniquely adjustable and customizable fit..."
HJC Furion 3 is an updated aero road helmet developed for racing with Total Energies and positioned as a top-performing, more affordable option for road and gravel riders. HJC designed a proprietary Sliding Layer Impact Distribution (SLID) system with low-density gel pads perched near the top of the head to mitigate rotational and lower‑g linear forces common in cycling crashes. The two large SLID pads sit on a slim plastic bridge, preserving substantial airflow for exceptional ventilation. A revised SelFit Pro dial delivers a one-time-adjust fit by pulling 7.5mm of strap per side, balancing comfort and adjustability.
